Wednesday, 7 January 2009. Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon. On Monday we hired a car to do the "Golden Circle" tour - we were going to go with a tour company but Helgi and Paul insisted it would be cheaper and easier to drive ourselves. The car didn't come with satnav, so I appointed George the cuddly puffin to do the job instead. I'd bought George the day before to assuage my guilt (see earlier post!

Saturday, 2 May 2009. I've always been a big fan of The Thick of It. The TV show on which In The Loop. Is based, so I had great hopes for the film.

Friday, 18 September 2009. The 13 1/2 lives of captain bluebear. Is a book by Walter Moers which I'm currently reading (swapping occasionally for Dawkins' Greatest Show on Earth.

Thursday, 29 May 2008. Blair 'to devote life to faith'. From the BBC (click the title), quoting an interview with Time magazine:.
